Breastfeeding can mean many challenges for new mothers. Are you experiencing any of the following?

Oooooouch!

Sensitive/dry nipples?I Nipples may be extremely sensitive in the first few days of breastfeeding, leading to dryness and the development of sore or cracked nipples.

Sore/cracked nipples?I Sore or cracked nipples usually indicate a problem with suckling or positioning and attachment, which can usually be solved by seeking professional advice.

Flat/inverted nipples?I Breastfeeding with flat or inverted nipples often needs special support.

challenge 1 our recommendation

PureLan soothes the nipples by preventing them from drying out. It is completely natural consisting of 100% ultra pure lanolin (wool wax) without any additives or preservatives and therefore doesn‘t need to be removed before breastfeeding. It can also be used on other areas of dry skin and is even safe enough to use on a baby’s delicate skin.

Hydrogel Pads provide instant relief by adaptingto your skin as a protective, cooling cushion. The pads help to prevent and manage the pain associated with sore or cracked nipples by soothing, moisturising and maintaining skin suppleness between feeds. Because the nipple area is kept moist, the Hydrogel Pads help to create the optimum conditions for healing.

Breastshells help to protect sore or cracked nipples from further chafing. The soft, flexible, silicone membrane is comfortable on the skin and provides an optimal fit against the breast. The opening in the silicone membrane can be centered over the painful nipple and areola.

Contact Nipple Shields allow you to continue to breastfeed in spite of difficulties, as they protect the breast whilst the baby feeds and provide the baby with something to latch onto, in the case of flat or inverted nipples.

Nipple Formers prepare your nipples for breast- feeding. Soft pressure helps to force out flat or inverted nipples, so that your baby can latch on more easily. The soft, flexible silicone membrane is comfortable on your skin and adapts optimally to your breast shape and size.
